Notes

A light satirical narrative of two novice huntsmen's misadventure – it transpires that their 'bag', a wood pigeon, had been already dead when shot down from a tree. The song, whose authorship is unknown, is highly popular in the Llanwddyn – Llanfyllin area of Montgomeryshire. Its melody only (along with an almost identical text) has been previously published in JWFSS, iv, 57. The music was recorded for the Museum in two parts but a Bass–line is added in the present publication since this is also known to occur in Montgomeryshire when 'Y Sguthan' is sung by a group.

In AD 75, the Romans built a fortress at Caerleon that would guard the region for over 200 years. Today at the National Roman Legion Museum you can learn what made the Romans a formidable force and how life wouldn't be the same without them.
